The Sphere L22™ microphone system from Townsend Labs models the characteristics of the most sought-after large-diaphragm condenser microphones with amazing accuracy, and allows selection of different mics and patterns even after tracking. The Sphere™ system consists of a high precision dual channel microphone, which when paired with the included Sphere DSP plug-in (UAD, VST, AU, AAX Native) accurately models the response of a wide range of mics, including transient response, harmonics, proximity effect and three-dimensional polar response.

Now You Can:

Record with the sound of microphones many have only dreamt about

Change mic type, polar pattern, and other microphone characteristics, even after tracking!

Audition the sound of different microphones without tiring the vocalist

Reduce bleed, undesirable room coloration, and other common issues using Off-Axis Correction™

Record in stereo from a single microphone

Breakthrough Microphone Modeling TechnologySphere’s three-dimensional approach captures the spatial nuances, proximity effect and off-axis frequency response of a wide range of microphones, which until now was not possible with any other product.

Dream Collection:Access some of the most prized microphones of all time, including a 47 (with VF14 tube), a 67, an M49, and a C12.

Polar Pattern ModelingBecause Sphere captures the three-dimensional response of target microphones, it precisely emulates the polar patterns and other off-axis characteristics of vintage microphones which are essential to their unique sound.

Re-Mic Sphere TracksSelect mic type, polar pattern and other settings both before and after tracking.

Adjustable Proximity EffectNo need to move a microphone solely because of too little or too much bass due to proximity effect. Great for punching in a vocal where distance from the mic varies from take to take.

Dual Mic ModelsDual Mode in the Sphere plug-in makes possible phase-coherent mixing of multiple virtual mic models from the same physical microphone, before or after tracking. It's also possible to adjust the relative phase alignment of the two mics with the Align control.
